The Fairfax Center Area Study - Meetings

Virtual Meeting - Fairfax Center Area: Providence District
Phase I Open House

The Fairfax Center
Area: Providence District – Phase I Open House was held online
as a "Virtual Meeting". Users were able to view a
presentation on the county's Comprehensive Plan, the Fairfax Center
Area Study, and the district-specific Fairfax Center Area Plan
recommendations. Community members were able to submit
comments to county staff by providing feedback to the questions
below. Click here

To get a sense of the future of the Fairfax Center Area, two
questions were asked of open house participants:

1. Several themes emerged from feedback received at the October
Study Kick-Off Open House and the Virtual Open House. Some
strengths include the area's close proximity to major
transportation routes, its variety of housing options, and the
less-dense nature of the area south of Lee Highway. Some
suggested improvements include the need for better signage for
existing parks, more active recreation opportunities, improved
bicycle and pedestrian connectivity, and an expansion of
multi-modal transportation options.

Is there anything else to add?

How do these ideas apply to this part of the Fairfax Center
Area?

2. This portion of the Fairfax Center Area consists of
portions of the Fairfax Farms and Penderbrook subdivisions. This
area is developed with and planned for residential uses,
including single-family homes, townhouses, and low-rise
multifamily residential units. Do you think that the planned land
uses in this portion of the Fairfax Center Area align with your
future vision?
